"Intel Confirms Atom-based Larger iPhone (Mini-Tablet)?

Written by Arnold Kim
According to ZDNet.de, Intel Germany CEO Hannes Schwaderer confirmed that Apple would be using the Intel Atom processor in a future version of the iPhone. The new model will reportedly be a larger model with a 720x480 pixel display, correlating with circulating rumors about a mini-tablet device rumored to be coming from Apple.
English translation:
As part of an Intel event for the 40th birthday of the semiconductor company at Munich’s BMW World, Germany managing director Hannes Schwaderer confirmed today what has long been a rumor on the Internet: namely, that there is an iPhone with Intel’s new Atom chip. The device is slightly larger than the current version, Schwaderer said. That is not, however, because of the Intel chip, but because of the larger display used in the new iPhone.
He goes on to say that an upgraded version of the current form factor of iPhone would also exist as a 3G-model.
While Schwaderer calls the larger device a "version of the iPhone", it seems clear that it refers to the rumored mini-tablet device. Some rumors have suggested that it would be introduced at WWDC."

Oh please, please, let it be so. I have been holding off on that eeePC and if they disappoint me again, I may just pull the trigger. Now, if it doesn't cost $2,000, we may have a winner.

Great. This almost certainly means that, even if such a device exists, that we won't get to see it.
Whatever happened to "asteroid"?!
